Steps to Check the Status of Your Trademark: A Comprehensive Guide
Table of Contents
Introduction
A trademark passes through numerous phases during the registration procedure or step, each assigning it a status. When an application for registration is approved and accepted by the registrar for publishing in the Trademark Journal, the trademark status is “Accepted.”
If, however, the trademark application does not meet the provisions of the Trademarks Act, the status is “Objected.”
Who may submit a Trademark Application?
Applications for trademark registration are open to all parties. Any person or business entity claiming to own the specified business may file it. The trademark may refer to a brand name, logo, or mark.
It could also be applied to your or your company’s services. It will be referred to as a service mark in that scenario. Indian trademark applications are open to both foreign and Indian nationals.
A trademark can be applied for in India by Indian citizens who are Limited or Private Limited Companies, Partnership Firms, Sole Proprietors, Individuals, Joint Individuals or Companies, Trusts, or other legal bodies.
A foreign national may use a trademark agent or attorney to submit an application for trademark registration in India. The jurisdiction they will be under is determined by looking at the Attorney’s or Agent’s address if they do not have a principal place of business in India.
